I am so impressed with the people in this video because I know a lot of people of similiar ages with absolutely no health issues couldn't get the range of movement or the balance that these people have. It's terrific work and you can see everyone's having fun too.
Just found this video. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's 4 years ago. He has a lot of trouble walking lately. I'm going to incorporate some of these exercises into his daily routine. Thanks!
Simplesmente maravilhoso! Vivo em Berlin e estou comecando esse novo trabalho em minha vida depois de50 anos como bailarina, professora de danca e corografa. Obrigada por compartilharem esse lindo trabalho!
Hi, not sure how many of you have the same as we do. I have a pertner aged 41, diagnosed with early onset parkinson, he is trully amazing free jazz guitarist. hard to see what he going through and hard to realize that his ability to play jazz on a world level can shortly end. this video was really insiping and something we should take as a daily ruitine. however we are still at the stage of accepting the illness. thank you for posting :) love to you all.
What a wonderful way to help people - and it looks like fun too. I don't have Parkinsons but I would find quite of few of the exercises challenging and I could improve myself doing them.
Wow! That was a shot of pure inspiration! As a Yoga teacher in a nursing home environment, most of my students are not able to perform this type of class. But what I found common to the splendid energy here and the committed determination of of my class is an energizing sense of play. Supposedly "old" age circulates us back to the heart of a child: perhaps there is some truth to the cliché after all. Loved the kazoo: gotta get my "kids' into that! Thank you!

Yes! People! Take steps literally and metaphorically to become one with gravity. Mother Earth supports you! No matter how your nerves are wired temporarily. YOUR nerves want to be rewired. This and Tai Chi-Qigong/chi kung have that and energy of your body wanting to come out from the negative diagnoses tossed on YOU! Take charge, gently!
Thank you for showing the world that one can always achieve more than what people think! One can see that your classes bring joy into the lives of those participating. Nice music BTW! I'd love to know the names/composers of the pieces!
Un vídeo muy interesante, con el se demuestra que para controlar el parkinson lo mejor es el ejercicio realizado con armonía y optimismo.Un vídeo muy completo pues complementa movimiento, coordinación ritmo. Verdaderamente extraordinario.
This video is wonderful, as are all the people in it --very inspiring! This routine appears to be so much more worthwhile, useful, engaging and fun than the Lee Silverman "Big" therapy that my dad used to do. It had great aims and some benefits, but it just didn't engage him or others I saw practicing it, to much extent. This dance session looks at once more challenging and more engaging and fun. I HATE Parkinson's disease so much that I would strangle it and burn its nasty corpse if I could. I hope to help people with movement and dance, and this video really gives me a boost. Do y'all incorporate voice work into the dance sessions?
Hola, estoy interesada en todo lo tenga que ver con Parkinson´s desease, I´m patient of pk 16 years,today 56 years old, I live in Concepcion of Chile. I want to meet anyone who experiencies thath I.
I haven't quite gotten into all the nitty-gritty yet, but if you have Parkinson's, there MAY be small things you can do to improve walking, and normal function. Parkinson's patients often have problems with walking and normal smooth motion; this leads many to believe that Parkinson's involves problems with the body's central pattern generators (CPGs). CPGs are responsible for repetitive and thoughtless motions, such as walking, swimming, etc. We have found that certain cues can help those afflicted with Parkinson's, because CPG's are not responsible for OVERALL motion, only repetitive, well-learned, thoughtless motions. What I mean when I say that "cues" may help is that intentional thought and motion may improve function in those with Parkinson's. This video, for example, has these folks stepping from cushion to cushion - this is not a repetitive thoughtless motion, and thus does not seem to be greatly impacted by the disease. They are intentionally stepping in exact places, and and are focused on those motions. New, not-well-learned motions, as well as those that are very irregular may be easier for those with Parkinson's - and so intentional motions like those in martial arts and dancing are much more easily attainable than just walking. It's worth noting that physical activity does hold benefits for those with Parkinson's, and so if you have the ability to be active, you should - but talk to a specialist first.
Thanks for the video- very informative. I'm working with a Parkinson's client right now and am curious how long the participants have been attending your class? Have you progressed the choreography or movements since you began the class or are these the same things you've been doing since the beginning?
+Blue Wave Fit My students stay with me year after year. Some in this group have been here 10 years, others less than two. With my most able people (Sophomores) I change up the choreography at every meeting, try out new stuff to see what works and is helpful to them, and then take the good new stuff to my other less able classes, (Freshmen and Beginners).
Do any of your students have PDD or dementia? My mom has PD and dementia but I'd love to know how to help her improve. She's strong and willing to work. I can also see the benefit to a group setting. Do you know of any in the Cincinnati or Indianapolis area? Thank you.
Several have dementia, usually not much of a problem. They sometimes can't understand a direction, so I just demonstrate what is needed. Exercise in a group is very helpful, not just for fitness, but also for social acceptance and friendships.

when people do things together ,they may increase their physical and social capacity. I loved!
I like the balancing walk with balls, shuffle steps, samba steps and the swing in dancing. Good job.

Prachtig! In Leeuwarden, Nederland hebben we ook een dansgroep met Parkinson. Ze geven zelfs voorstellingen!!
